    I was under the impression that the main reason the Werewolves never reached any serious organizational or logistical levels was due more to the High Command refusing to contemplate the possibility of final defeat as well as the belief that the units would not be effective in such a role to begin with rather than any real effect of the Allied bombing considering that a majority of front line forces still received equipment.

    Eh, not really. They weren’t very effective because, well, they’re hold-out units, they’re not supposed to be. Their entire purpose was to fight until the war is done, meaning until they’re dead, and for the handful who survive because they either fled or surrendered, things that they would hang their own troops on the trees throughout Berlin for, and then die trying to blow up anything allied. There was no hope of restoring the Nazis after the war, they just wanted to annoy the Allies by killing a handful of guys and some trucks and stuff. After all, a group of “speshully” trained over-glorified meth-heads couldn’t really of done much else.

    There was a really good book written by Harry Turtledove that describes what if Reinhard Henrich survived his assassination attempt and took command of the Werwolf after the war, I won’t spoil it for you but its really well written and describes a really fascinating outcome if the resistance had been more successful than real life. The book is called “The man with the Iron Heart”. Would definitely recommend it it your interested in that sort of thing.

    In April 1945 the small town Owen was reached by US troops. An US tank fell accidently from a bridge into still today existing medieval fortification ditch. There was no more a german soldier in the small town and the incident was simply an accident on a narrow bridge, but the other tanks fired into town and destroyed a number of houses.

    General Maurice Rose wasn't actually killed by Werwolf units, but they did mention that it was disinformation in the video. He was killed by a German Panzer unit outside of Paderborn when his motorcade was ambushed in the darkness. General Rose, much like General Gavin of the 82nd Airborne Division, tended to lead his men from the front as opposed to sitting behind a desk in a field HQ. This means that any "assassination" carried out on him would likely just be another act of battle. Though there is some controversy over whether or not his death was a war crime. Some sources say he was shot along with his aides while trying to surrender. He died on March 30th, just a month before Hitler committed suicide. Paderborn held one of Germany's main tank schools, thus it was the location of one of the final tank vs tank battles of the war in Europe. Adam Makos' book, "Spearhead" is a good source to learn about Rose's death and the subsequent Battle of Paderborn.

    Simple History, I absolutely love your channel. I watch it every single night! If you could make a video on the Dark Ages of Ireland, that would be my dream come true! Or even anything on ancient Ireland, maybe the Spanish king Milesius taking over due to an ancient Druidic prophecy? Even if you don't, Merry Christmas and have a happy new year! ❤

    In the eighties in the U.K. a Soviet Special Forces weapons dump was found at a place called Thetford Forrest, not far from RAF Mildenhall. This has only come to light in the last couple of years. I believe some have also been found at Eastern Coast locations in the USA.

    The name for the units was also partially inspired by the book “Der Wehrwolf” by Hermann Lons. The book is about a German peasant who wages a guerrilla campaign against invaders during the 30 years war, and was very popular in Germany at the time. The plot of the book emulated what the units were supposed to do.

    I actually have their book Its a guerrilla warfare book for werwolf, Hitler youth and volkssturm Also operation werwolf was more of a propaganda success but nevertheless they lasted for 3 years in total 19944-1946 (1947 but by then they weren't as strong as before and they didn't take action as much) In the book I have it goes as deep as explaining ambushes how to perform them, how to prepare them and how popular ambushes went down
